Let’s Sweets – Japanese Dessert Buffet in 60 minutes

#02-49 Bugis Junction Singapore Tel: 6338 0187
Daily: 12.00pm–4.30pm, 5.30pm–10pm


Let’s Sweets is Singapore’s first and latest dessert buffet restaurant which promises to inspire and offer sugar rush experience. A refreshing concept of Japanese dessert buffet, priced at $15.80++ for lunch and $18.80++ for dinner during weekdays. It is operated by Japan Foods Holding Ltd, which also runs celebrated brands such as “Ajisen Ramen”, "Fruit Paradise" etc

Walking into e colourful store along the counters of colourful cakes and rows of savoury items. Chefs dressed in white uniform and stood behind counters to prepare handmade crepes with ice cream and ‘dancing’ Yaki Mochi. It is an interesting item to look forward, their famous Japanese street snack, " Dancing Yaki Mochi". The rice balls are slowly and evenly toasted to give a crunchy feel on the outside with a warm and flavourful feel on the inside. These handmade Japanese Mochi are filled with five different flavours comprising of Sakura Cherry Blossoms, Red Bean, Miso, Black Sesame, Sweet Potatoes that rolled into perfect little balls.

A time limit of 60 minutes (80 minutes for dinner) reminded by a baby blue alarm clock.(stress :~( eg:- For a 60mins spread, timer will be set till 50 minutes for diner to take and enjoy the food from the buffet area and another last 10mins is for finishing up all the food on the tables and proceed to the billing.) Eating like a glutton, I got into a sugar high very quickly. And somehow everything from the crepes, chiffon, tarts and mousse tasted the same after the 6th piece.
Savouries such as Japanese Mushroom Spaghetti, Chicken Teriyaki Burger and Takikomi Rice, potato Soup was thick and creamy, with loads of ingredients. The sweet potatoes, rarely used for western soups, were a clever addition for a gentler taste. Cream puffs n mousse are ok.
My suggestion would be to include Hokkaido ice cream and increase the buffet time.
What's not so good; the desserts were mostly of mediocre standard (mass-produced). 2)jellies sucked, should improve on the flavour and quality. The heavy use of gelatin in the jellies made them too starchy.
Faved abt Rouleau au Caramel de salée (Sea Salt Caramel Rolled Cake) - personally i feel soso. Hokkaido Coffee Zenzai is another fave abt, but i cant take coffee stuff. So no comment.

But i feel 1 hoour is so rush for savoury, only 1 HOUR….mean we only can eat n can’t talk or share opinion…what’s the point of paying n can’t enjoy the food or the rest concept in a proper manner. And most of all, u see the ugly side of singaporeans being kaisu hehahahh. U are paying for indigestion!!! More for tea-session.
nt recommended, nt goin for second time too.
